My first memory of meeting an actual nun (as opposed to watching The Flying Nun, played by Sally Field, on TV) was when I was nine years old. Jade Banks, 23-1/2 years old, will be entering the Discalced Carmelites on November 30th of this year (2017). I finally had a chance to find out what goes on inside the mind of a young woman who wants to become a nun. I only saw them in movies, which didn't portray them well at all (Sound of Music and a Nun's Story with Audrey Hepburn). I attended a Catholic conference and heard a talk on the lives of the saints given by a beautiful and YOUNG Sister of Life.
